Prototype

A gesture based interface, which controls the camera / microphone on a smartphone. The phone is belted around the chest of the user.

Hand open, means «stream video / audio to Facebook»

Hand close, means «don’t stream video / audio to Facebook»

Field trial

• Novemberflåset, Strömstad 8.11.14.

• A yearly event with two tracks 5 and 10km.

• We recruited 3 participants that ran the 5km track.

• They were fitted with the prototype and used it while participating.

• All three were interviewed afterwards.

Theoretical perspectives

• Attention to:• Running• Using• Sensing• Sharing

• Privacy of:• Self Tracking / Life Logging• Media sharing

• Resolved by “genres of disclosure” (Palen & Dourish 2013)

Layers of attention

1. Running in the event.

2. Using the technology.

3. Sensing or being a human camera in the event.

4. Sharing with friends and followers on Facebook.

5. (and taking part in an experiment)

6. and more…

Self Tracking / Life Logging: 

Five modes of tracking (Lupton 2014): 

• Private (self-tracking)

• Pushed (gamification)

• Communal (collaborative)

• Imposed (evaluation)

• Exploited (data used by third parties)

“History becomes a freezer not a dustbin.” (Steve Mann 1997)

Digital Media Sharing

• Social capital

• Impression management

• Publics (unpredictable)

Genres of disclosure

Genres of disclosure (Palen & Dourish 2003):

Resolving privacy boundaries:

• Disclosure boundary

• Identity boundary

• Temporality boundary

Research Questions

• How are the four layers of use-context, running, using, sensing and sharing, related when participating in a running event?

• How do the users participating in the running event negotiate the disclosure, identity and temporal privacy boundaries when using the prototype?

Methodological Considerations

Research through design «in the wild»

Criteria to evaluate research: (Zimmermann et. al. 2007)

•  Novel integrations made relevant (usefulness)

•  Supporting further development (both technology and process)

 Richer description of field trials: (Brown et. al. 2011)

•  Demand characteristics

•  Lead participants

•  Interdependence between methods and results

Fitting the prototype:Brief explanations were given of how the prototype should be used. The sensor was calibrated by using input from the hand.

Right before the start of the eventNovemberflåset is a small yearly event with more or less ambitious participants.

Results I

• Running: the participants felt at home in the event.

• Using: they forgot the prototype but continued using it.• Some issues with wearability and calibration

• Sensing: not worried about recording others, but some concerns about audio.

Page 16: Hand open / Hand close Eyes-free video self-reporting in social media Joakim Karlsen joakim.karlsen@hiof.no

Results II

• Sharing• Disclosure boundary: easy to share video

but attention to audio.• Identity boundary: sharing an experience

seemed to be better than sharing performance indicators. They told different stories.

• Temporality boundary: two of the three wanted to have control, the third didn’t mind.

Question I

• How are the four layers of use-context, running, using, sensing and sharing, related when participating in a running event?• Using, sensing and sharing didn’t seem to take

away from running in the event, rather the opposite.

• Most attention was given to the nontechnical aspects, running and sharing in the event.

• The interface (gestures) and recording equipment (smartphone) were almost forgotten by the users.

Question II

• How do the users participating in the running event negotiate the disclosure, identity and temporal privacy boundaries when using the prototype?• When it comes to the negotiations of the privacy boundaries

the findings suggest that first-person audio is more important than first-person video when it comes to negotiating the disclosure boundary.

• Further it seems that sharing performance indicators is more problematic than sharing experiences when it came to the identity boundary.

• The recordings were perceived as relatively harmless and except concerns about audio, the participants didn’t care to much about the negotiation of the temporality boundary or the persistence of their shared information.

Continuation:

• I will, together with Susanne Stigberg, continue this research with more field experiments “in the wild”, the first one taking place in Berlin in January.

• I believe that the study supports and inspires further research into gesture-based interfaces and the specifics of what hand movements are mapped to what actions.

• Sharing live video on Facebook by opening and closing the hand is non-abstract, direct and intuitive. Technology performs best when it enables use, and at the same time is forgotten by its user.
